India will have something to be proud of after their ODI series disaster in New Zealand. In their first ICC Women’s World Cup warm-up match against South Africa, the Indian eves registered a 2 run victory. India women are playing West Indies Women team in the second and final warm-up game before the much anticipated ICC Women’s World Cup tournament.
Previously India suffered a humiliating 4-1 loss at the hands of New Zealand in the 5-match ODI series. The Indian Women’s team saved their blushes by winning the last game to save themselves from a humiliating clean sweep by the Kiwi opponents.
India who would be chasing their maiden title this year will be desperate to bid a fitting goodbye to the legends like Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami who would be playing their last world cup this year.
